Obama Takes Guam (Unofficially)

After more that 4,500 votes were cast in this Democratic Primary pseudo-caucus in the U.S. Territory of Guam, the margin of victory for Senator Obama over Senator Clinton was a scant 7 votes, or 15/100ths of a percent of the valid votes cast.

I mention "valid" only because a re-count is likely to occur, with the Clinton campaign interested in viewing "spoiled" ballots or other ballots that exhibited flaws.

Regardless, this primary yields a 2-2 split in the four pledged delegates allotted to Guam.

Of far more importance, however, was the election of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Guam Democratic Party, with both positions recognized as superdelegates. With three competing slates up for these positions, the most pro-Obama slate was elected, with the incoming Vice Chair an Obama supporter (and instant superdelegate addition for Obama) and the incoming President undeclared but possibly endorsing the official winner of the primary contest in Guam.
